Mindie was born September 13, 1954, in Bryan, to Bedrich (BR) Sebesta and Sadie (Macik) Sebesta.
She married the love of her life, Stanley Ferrell, on February 15, 1975. They were blessed with nearly 50 years together and two daughters.
Mindie was a talented and prolific artist in graphic design, art and home decorating. She worked for American Classifieds for 19 years in the graphic design department.
Mindie and Stan were devoted Christ followers and members of Aldersgate Church of Brazos Valley for over 40 years. Mindie was baptized and confirmed at Snook Brethren Church. She loved Jesus and was always available to pray...she was the family’s prayer warrior!
Mindie had many hobbies and interests, such as attending church, any Aggierelated sporting events, watching Dallas Cowboys football and Houston Astros baseball, or just sitting on her porch enjoying the bluejays and road runners. She loved relaxing in the pool that Stan set up for her on the deck, and watching the bluebonnets bloom in their yard. She and Stan loved Galveston beach and the Thursday date nights they shared.
Mindie was the captain of the family ship and a strong anchor for Alison and Lexi. She was also the family’s health and wellbeing adviser and their homeopathic “pharmacist.”
She loved her family, especially her children, grandchildren and grand fur babies. When her daughters were young, she never missed a sport or school event.
She was preceded in death by her parents, BR and Sadie Sebesta; sister, Kay Kennon; brother-inlaw, Milton Marek; and father-in-law, Turner Ferrell.
Mindie is survived by her loving family: husband, Stanley Ferrell of College Station; daughters, Andrea Ferrell and Alison Colley, both of Snook; brothers, Bennie Ray Sebesta and wife, Patrice, Richard Sebesta and wife, Laura, both of Snook; sisters, Sadie Zboril and husband, Jerry, of Lyons, Bonnie Chandler and husband, Corkey, of Snook, and Linda Kirkpatrick and husband, John, of Bertram; sisterin- law, Vicki Marek of Caldwell; brothers-inlaw, Glenn Ferrell and wife, Pat, of Caldwell, and Chris Kennon of Georgetown; mother-inlaw, Josephine Ferrell of Caldwell; grandchildren, Jordyn Colley, Lexi Colley and Tyler Colley; beloved family friend, Tim Hamff; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives, friends and her church family.
